3.5.10. Automatic opening at application startup
A MicroSCADA monitor should be configured to be opened automatically at
application startup if the MicroSCADA monitors are to be opened to an operator
workstation but the Windows in the same computer is not logged into.
To configure a MicroSCADA monitor to be opened automatically at the startup of
an application:
1. Define a predefined monitor in the base system computer as described in
Section 3.5.8. Automatically opened MicroSCADA monitors.
2. Insert the SCIL function OPS_PROCESS or OPS_CALL with the command for
starting a predefined monitor.
By using the -n flag MicroSCADA knows that the monitor request was
given from within MicroSCADA. If an error occurs, the error message
will not be displayed on the screen. It is put in the event log of the
operating system. If you use the -n flag, the MicroSCADA monitor
properties must be predefined. If a MicroSCADA monitor is started
from within MicroSCADA and the monitor is to be displayed on the
base computer screen, there must be a user logged on.
Example:
@OPS = OPS_CALL("mons -n -d mycomp 4",1)
The command opens the predefined monitor number 4 defined on the base system
computer mycomp. The ‘-n’ flag should be used when opening the MicroSCADA
monitor from within MicroSCADA. The -fl, -fr and -s parameters cannot be used
together with the -d parameter and the -n parameter can only be used with the -d
parameter. The predefined monitors numbered 1, 2 and 3 are examples and can be
removed from the monitors.dat file.
The X-server program should not be started from within MicroSCADA
using OPS_CALL. Use the Startup folder for starting the X-server or
start the X-server manually. If the MicroSCADA monitor requires the
X-server program, the X-server should also be started from the Startup
folder.
